Juventus under new manager Thiago Motta have started strongly with two convincing wins as they prepare to face Roma on Sunday.
The team has secured two 3-0 wins over Como and Hellas Verona at the beginning of the new Serie A season, with Dusan Vlahovic scoring twice in their latest victory.
There is renewed excitement under their new manager, Motta, who has brought a fresh attacking style without compromising their defensive organization. This match against Roma will be the first significant test for Juventus this season.
Roma, on the other hand, have had a slow start to the season, managing only one point in their first two games under manager Daniele De Rossi. They are coming off a disappointing home loss to Empoli, following a goalless draw against Cagliari in their season opener.

American player Tim Weah suffered a hamstring injury in the season opener, leaving him sidelined for several weeks. Meanwhile, Weston McKennie has not been in the starting lineup despite signing a new contract at the beginning of the campaign for Juventus.
Polish striker Arkadiusz Milik is out with an injury, resulting in Dusan Vlahovic leading the attack. Kenan Yildiz might step in as a replacement if needed. Winger Filip Kostic is sidelined for months due to a knee injury sustained during Euro 2024 duty with Serbia.

The only injury concern for Roma early in the season is French midfielder Enzo Le Fee, who is recovering from a muscle problem. Apart from this, manager Daniele De Rossi has a fully fit squad at his disposal.
Despite a strong season with Girona, new signing Artem Dovbyk is yet to score in the opening two matches for Roma. There might be expectations for Eldor Shomurodov to make an impact after scoring in the previous game. Another player to watch out for is Alexis Saelemaekers, who recently joined on loan from AC Milan.
Roma projected starting lineup (4-3-2-1): Svilar (GK) — Celik, Mancini, N’Dicka, Angelino — Cristante, Paredes, Pellegrini — Dybala, Soule — Dovbyk.
